Hey all, in Germany we have a huge amount of death strandings of grey seals in the Baltic Sea. All well fed, no signs of infections or diseases based on autopsies, but with net marks and fluid in their trachea. We need stricter regulations to prevent any further occurrences of these events. So even if you don't live in Germany I would appreciate your support to spread the word and increase pressure on the federal institutions in charge: https://chng.it/VPKPTrKfpw

Hello all,
I'm trying to find information about what Sea Shepherd is doing in the Med, as it's the closest to where I live and to my heart, but it's hard to find any. A quick look through their website yielded two posts from this summer. I clicked on one and it was just 5 paragraphs. That is far from enough to put my money into something.

I'm also subscribed to their YT channel and the only thing they do there is post unconvincing flashy cinematic montages.

My question is:
Is that all? Are there any documents, other websites, or channels where they provide information on what they are doing and how they are spending the money? Is any more info available to donors? Are they more focused elsewhere, not so much in the Med?

I don't have the time to thoroughly check what other donation-supported efforts are doing, but for example, I know of and support Mossy Earth, a group that deals with rewilding various habitats. They provide spending reports, videos that are convincing, detailed, longer, and not flashy, and also actual written reports. Apart from that, they make polls and take into account the suggestions in YouTube comments.

I would love to support Sea Shepherd, but the info they provide I find to be scarce.

I have finished watching the Sea of Shadow film on Hulu and found it inspiring. For the past few days I've been wondering what Sea Shepherd crew members/supporters felt about the film's depiction of Sea Shepherd's contribution to the greater effort to save the vaquita and whether the film impacted positively/negatively to the cause.

I have been watching Whale Wars. What is a quartermaster?

Great news - Envoy Shark Cull is now on Netflix. This is such a great film that reveals just how much the Govt of NSW and QLD are treating the public like morons.
The nets are ineffective and were first introduced to Australian waters in 1937! (There are WAY more effective methods now some 87 years later)
They kill so many innocent marine animals - they ensnare migrating whales and are not a failproof way at all to protect swimmers. There are other better options and they should be using them.

Remove the drum lines, Remove the nets!!!

I had the privilege of being onboard all three. Which one was your favorite? The M/Y Sharpie, The M/Y Farley Mowat, or The M/Y John Paul Dejoria? 🤔

Hello folks! Just a reminder that this page is for supporters of Sea Shepherd by supporters of Sea Shepherd. If you don’t support Sea Shepherd, this simply isn’t the page for you and trolls will be removed.

This includes unnecessarily negative/bullying comments about past/present employees/volunteers of the organization.

Thanks! Have a wonderful weekend 😎🤙

I did not know, it costs 100€ to apply. Does anyone have a coupon code?

Hi, the question is in the title :)

For a person with little ship background and coming from finance. Even though I have military training, climbed some mountains, none of those relates to the actual work... Is the competition so big such a person has practically zero chance o.r.. well, what do you think?

Notice this all has to do with his time with Sea Shepherd and Whale Wars TV show.

Great to see Sea Shepherd supporting this cause, i hope they can do more than just talk. Seems unclear what they have planned to stop it.. great to see them there and doing something at least.

NUUK, GREENLAND - JULY 21, 2024 - On the morning of Sunday, July 21st, Captain Paul Watson, co-founder of marine conservation Greenpeace, founder of Sea Shepherd and the Captain Paul Watson Foundation (CPWF), was arrested upon arrival in Nuuk, Greenland.

“We were here, and arrested Paul due to an international arrest order from Japan”, stated the leader of the Danish federal police boarding party at the site of the arrest. The crew were given no further information.

The arrest is believed to be related to a former Red Notice issued for Captain Watson’s previous anti-whaling interventions in the Antarctic region. Japan’s Antarctic research whaling program JARPA was declared illegal by the International Court of Justice in 2014.

“We’re completely shocked, as the Red Notice had disappeared a few months ago. We were surprised because it could mean that it had been erased or made confidential. We understand now that Japan made it confidential to lure us into a false sense of security. We implore the Danish government to release Captain Watson and not entertain this politically-motivated request”, stated Locky MacLean, Ship Operation’s Director for CPWF.

Operating in breach of the IC ruling for several years, Japan eventually ceased Antarctic high-seas whaling in 2016, and now only hunts whales within its territorial waters. CPWF believes Japan plans to resume high-seas whaling in the Southern Ocean and North Pacific as early as 2025, and the reactivation of the Red Notice against Captain Watson is politically motivated and coincides with the launch of a newly-built factory whale processing vessel.

In Nuuk, over a dozen Danish police and SWAT team members boarded the MY John Paul DeJoria as soon as it made port. After a handcuffed Captain Watson was led off of the ship, he was taken to the local police station. The crew and Foundation have no means of contacting him and have had no further news. At the time of writing, Watson remains in custody and it is unknown whether Denmark will allow Mr. Watson to be extradited to Japan.
